It was a one-day weekend.

If your last name were to be made into a C library string function, what would it do?

I'm Baba Wawa and this............ is Twenty Twenty.

HAW HAW HAW!!! My theory remains undefeated and regnant supreme: These environmental regulations, like most other government realms of intrusion, are about getting "useful idiots" AKA True Believers, to line up behind certain politicians in a power grab, and that that, in turn, is to let them wield power to extort kickbacks. Value of the environmentalism per se is irrelevant to the power struggle. That's a meme to get you to behave in ways that support the power grab.

Remember that: I could grant 100% validity to the value of environmentalism's every last bleat, and it still wouldn't alter the power dynamics.

Except in this case they went to far and put themselves over a barrel.

This plot would make a perfect thread to insert into Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. "But we didn't really mean to kill off your enterprise -- we rely on it for jobs to maintain our power. We just want you to play ball."

I estimate a 60% chance of a downmod as some meme defense mechanism activates in the brain of a True Believer, and they downmod to help protect the meme guiidng their actions

Torrents are designed to have many points sending small amounts of data. It's not for giant pseudo-servers. With lots of people, net downloads should be almost as fast.

Hell if you ran the software self-throttling uploads, we'd never have these issues.

Or that they're frozen on or otherwise stuck. Stuff sitting on a table, shelf, or floor gets stuck there by other crud.

Say what now?

Good job promoting it.

"I'm sorry, sir. I cannot unstick the pages because you let the barf dry."

That just increases the pool of potential firelings.

A Politically Correct Recipe For Success:

"We need to increase diversity not for racist remediation, but because diversity increases quality of product and rate of invention in this bleeding-edge tech area. COMMENCE FIRING WHITE MALE ENGINEERS!"

Actually...

> 55% White
> 6% Black

White: 72% of population
Black: 12% of population

White: 17% underrepresented
Black: 6% underrepresented

I assume they will be hiring three white people for every black person. Well, white chicks that is.

> 50 cents per GiB

I prefer to think of it as 0.0007 cents per body part closeup.

2 Gig
Same processor, maybe small speed bump
4.7 Super amoled, scarcely larger than my 3 year old phone
Concern about superficialities like plastic vs. metal case

May be time to move on from Samsung.

I just hope the damned thing lasts longer than the current micro POS, which has difficulties with thoisands of connect-disconnect cycles and the occasional bump.

I heard none of the ultranerd devs had a tightly-coupled mammary.

I assure ypu, Democrats do not want to open the can of worms of "who grants the most rent-seeking" laws and red tape to protect interests.

That's why they seek power in both parties. To get in the way to benefit someone, or extort someone.

So if I live in a "one-party consent" state, I can just record without notifying?

It also says California's Supreme Court ruled that if you talked to someone in California (an "all-party consent" state) you needed the CA guy's permission. How can they enforce that? Extradite? Do other states honor that or do they have their own balls?

Why? Because programmers don't design products -- they throw wrappers around APIs.

Usability testing? Wuuuuuuut?
